Academy Award-winning Latvian producer Matiss Kaza has officially joined the production of 'Times New Roman', the highly anticipated sophomore feature from Ukrainian director Philip Sotnychenko.

Kaza, who has earned significant international acclaim for his work on the award-winning animated feature 'Flow', brings a wealth of expertise to the new project. 'Flow', co-written and produced by Kaza alongside director Gints Zilbalodis, has been recognised as a standout in recent animation, establishing Kaza as a key figure in the contemporary independent film landscape.

The collaboration marks a significant professional milestone for Sotnychenko as he transitions into his second feature-length production. The project, titled 'Times New Roman', is expected to garner attention within the international film circuit, particularly given the pedigree of its production team.

As the global film industry continues to spotlight diverse voices, the partnership between established Latvian production talent and Ukrainian directorial vision reflects a growing trend of cross-border European cinematic collaboration. The involvement of high-profile producers like Kaza often provides the necessary momentum for emerging directors to secure international distribution and festival recognition on the world stage.
